Highlights of 2012

So since I was an epic failure at sending out Christmas or New Year's cards this year, including not writing up a letter, I've decided to just make a little post about the highlights of our year. :)

We started the New Year on our honeymoon in Mexico!  It was a great way to ring in 2012 and we got to have so many great experiences while we were there, from watching shows, to exploring caves, to enjoying the swim up bar at the resort.  We definitely loved our trip and would love to go back as soon as we can.

Spring of 2012 was really busy for us as Clint finished up basketball season with another trip to the state tournament in Lincoln and I wrapped up my last semester of graduate classes.  I was able to travel to Indianapolis with a great group of friends for the national occupational therapy conference.  The conference was great and I have such wonderful friends I was able to share it with.

In May 2012, I moved from Omaha to Lincoln for a rotation at Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital in the pediatric unit.  It was arguably one of the best experiences of my life and I am so happy that I received that placement.  Clint was also able to relocate to Lincoln for the summer and worked for his dad and brother on the farm.  We were finally able to live together after nine months of marriage!  Also over the summer, Clint completed his masters in Administration from Concordia University!

In August we celebrated out one year anniversary with a trip to Denver to watch the Colorado Rockies, explore a new city, and spend some quality time together.  I also made the final move from Lincoln to central Nebraska, where Clint has been living for three years. 

This fall Clint started his fourth year of teaching and coaching football at Overton and I started my professional rotation at the ESU 10 school district and Children's Rehab in Grand Island.  I had a great experience working and dancing with kids.  We had a very busy and eventful fall with lots of football and visiting friends and family.  We also adopted the newest member of our family, a husky-yellow lab puppy named Millie.  Two dogs and two cats definitely keep us pretty busy.

In December, I graduated with my doctorate in occupational therapy from Creighton University after three and a half long years of school.  It was a wonderful weekend and I was able to celebrate with so many close friends and family who supported me throughout my education.  I am so grateful for everyone's support and am excited to start my career in the new year!

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and we wish you all the best in 2013!
